Wrongful Death

Wrongful death claims are claims in which someone has
lost their life due to the negligence or fault of another party. The
goal of a wrongful death lawsuit is to alleviate any financial stress
for surviving relatives of the deceased. While a wrongful death lawsuit
cannot makeup for the loss of a loved one, it can compensate surviving family members or
medical expenses, funeral costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of
companionship.
